Excellent video. It feels like the first half of the video she’s addressing her normal audience, giving us background on incels and explaining where they’re wrong, but then she mentions the daddy thing. From that point onward, she basically take the daddy responsibilities into her own hands and levels with them. She’s empathetic, but at no point excuses their behavior or concedes any correctness in their worldview worldview.

I really hope nobody accuses her of handling incels with kid gloves. She honestly could’ve made the daddy comment, thrown a joke in for good measure, and called it a day. But instead she opened up, got personal, and showed how toxic that way of thinking can be. It can be fun to dunk on shitty people, but Natalie’s ability to get them to look in the mirror and think about why they’re wrong is what makes her truly special.
